Friends, donors, Board and committee members, and nonprofit organizations came together July 25 at the Essex Steam Train & Riverboat to celebrate “Good People Doing Great Things.”

More than 130 people joined CFMC to recognize the grant recipients of 2018 and to share incredible stories of the positive impact we are having – together – on Middlesex County.

We extend our deepest thanks to Liberty Bank Foundation and Essex Steam Train & Riverboat for sponsoring the annual celebration. We are grateful to the talented actors of Vista Life Innovations’ A Shared Stage Production who performed a number from Sister Act for our guests.

The annual CFMC Grantee Recognition Reception provides an opportunity each year to bring nonprofit organizations together with the volunteers of the grants committees and donors who support the funds in the competitive grants process to share heart warming stories, explore how together we are strengthening our community, and develop new networks to continue Living Locally and Giving Locally.

We invite you to browse the photo gallery – and celebrate the incredible nonprofits serving our region!
